Repairing alloys

Anonymous · August 12, 2003, 18:41

Just wondering if anyone knows ........ is it possible to have alloy wheels repaired?
I have managed to scrape one of mine and it spoils the look of my shiny red 03 MR2.
Don't fancy shelling out for a new one, so I'm just after some advice.

Help, I'm absolutely distraught!!!!!!

Welcome to the forum!

Yup, assuming its not too badly damaged (if its just scrapes rather than crash damage) you should be able to get it sorted.

I used a company called Pristine in Milton Keynes (01908 282628). They did a perfect job on my wheels (take a look at one of them here m http://www.mr2-roadster.co.uk/photos/prang/index.htm m )

They look brand new - and Toyota use this company for their wheels!

Good luck.

Or, if you are in the Midlands, KN Wheels (telford) http://www.knwheels.co.uk - they repaired and refinished my 17's with stunning results s8)

Just what is that about? I'm confused.

KN Wheels manufacture their own range of alloys; the one Sundance has linked to is called 'MR2', it's just KN's model name. By the looks of it, it's designed for a Merc - and a bit nasty too, IMO.

Grace,

Where are you? If by any chance you're in Leeds then call "Scratches and Scuffs". They do an excellent mobile alloy repair service, I've used them a couple of times (both unfortunately when someone else has kerbed my car, very annoying!)...

IIRC, Grace said she was in the Durham area.
